MASTER RALPH BINGHAM. who is to APP
pear here tomorrow ard Saturday, was
born December %, 1870, in Virginia. He
resided in Richmond with his parents until
May, 1879, and attended the public school
there, retaining in his memory everything
he heard or saw, and reproducing 1t with
phenomenal mimic effect. He excited the
curiosity and interest of his teachers, puz
zled the minds of those who had made the
anatomy of the brain their constant study,
presenting to them curious ard perpleX-
ing anomaly without intelligent solution.
The discussion of this remarkable boy IN
the newspapers of Richmond and through
out the State attracted the attention OF the
people, and created in them desire to see
and hear him. His parents were at last pre-
vailed upon 10 consent to his appearance I'D
public. Consequently, June 14th, 1877, at
the age of six years and six months, he
made his first appearance in public in the
Richmond Theatre, before an audience OF
three thousand people. This entertainment
was followed up by twenty-three succeeding
exhibitions, given to crowded houses, under
the auspices Of various church and other So
cie,ies. Coming North, in May, 1879, he
tiled engagements in Washington, Balti-
more, Philadelphia, New York, Albany,
Troy (appearing seventeen times in the city
Of Troy and most of the Hudson river
cities and towns with equal success. At
Saratoga Springs, during the season of 1879,
he gave sixteen consecutive entertainments
Changing his programme nightly to large
and appreciative audiences. including much
of the wealth, culture and intelligence OF
the country. Heis, physically and mentally,
all that could be desired. He is the very
picture of health, having never had mo.
ment's sickness nor taken drop of medi-
cine in his life.

Mr.. II. Marx was heard by Alderman Barr
this morning on three charges OF larceny
and one OF assault and battery. The defend.
ant is beer bother and the prosecutors we're
Fred Epgle, Geo. f. Sprenger and George A.
kiehL The testimony WAS that the COM
planants los! large number OF beer bottles
during the past year and had search warrants
issued. At the establishment of the defend.
ant large lot Of bottles were found, which
had on them the names of the prosecutors.
All the larceny eases were returned TO court
1t Is the Inenti on Of the prosecutors to push
these suits to aspeedy trial.
The assault and battery case against Marx
was preferred by Henry Haider, q driver in
the employ OF Geo. r. Sprenger, and the
difficulty grew out OF Haider giving informa.
ton to Mr.. Sprenger about Marx having some
of his bottles. This case was also returned
to court.
The larceny suits against Charles Zsch,
Samuel WeDger, Andrew Flecksnstein and
Christ MetzZer were continued, the defend.
ants failing to appear.
The larceny case brought against John
Hams was dismissed, there being no evidence
to connect him with the felonious taking Of
any OF the bottles OF Messrs. Engle, Sprenger
or Kiehl.
